Dingo

Driving through an empty plain
The desert took me far away
The biggest nuisance morning heat
My tents barely bigger than me
Hear the dirt and hear the howls
Pretend that I’m not hurting now
I’m by myself and this is fine
But my voice starts not to feel like mine
The quiet knocks, I say, «Come in»
It’s just a tent, undo the zip
I drove a while, I might go to bed
But you can stay here if you’re scared
And I would swap these hands for paws
Dirty fingernails for claws
Don’t care about the dirt or fleas
Leave behind all human parts of me
Sunrise so beautiful I cry
And emotions are not things that I like
Remember it’s a diesel tank
Otherwise you’re out of bank
Try to surf when you find the coast
Can barely swim, sink under and choke
Stay under there, don’t try to breathe
My biggest fear is redundancy
Pink skies and early nights
Wish I could see the northern lights
Mate, can’t you just be satisfied?
Can’t look my rear view in the eye
And I would swap these hands for paws
Dirty fingernails for claws
Don’t care about the dirt or fleas
Leave behind all human parts of me
Drive past signs, be scared of home
I love this heat and red dust place
Haunted by fucking dingos
They’re calling me, I want to stay
And I would swap these hands for paws
Dirty fingernails for claws
Don’t care about the dirt or fleas
Leave behind all human parts of me
